Attorney General Bondi Faces Bipartisan Pressure Over Signal Leak Investigation Refusal

Pam Bondi defends her decision not to investigate leaked sensitive military discussions, citing that the information was not classified, despite growing calls for accountability.

A Signal group chat involving top U.S. officials, including Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, inadvertently included journalist Jeffrey Goldberg, leading to the leak of sensitive military details about a Yemen airstrike.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has refused to initiate a Department of Justice investigation into the leaks, asserting that the information shared was sensitive but not classified.
Critics, including CNN analyst Elie Honig and Rep. Dan Goldman, have accused Bondi of politicizing the DOJ and failing to act independently as promised during her confirmation hearings.
Bipartisan members of the Senate Armed Services Committee have called for an inspector general probe into the leaks, emphasizing the need for accountability in handling sensitive military information.
Bondi has dismissed criticism from media figures and lawmakers as politically biased, maintaining confidence in her decision and the assessments of intelligence officials.
